This matter dates back to 1998. Before that, MCM was still a second-tier record company even though it had already launched some decent singers and groups. But when Britney and Christina emerged, it suddenly caught everyone's attention, becoming a place many young singers aspired to be. So, one day in 1998, 21-year-old Allen Kemi, who was supposed to form a band with a few friends to be the guitarist and to handle most of the songwriting, joined MCM as an intern.
After about half a year of interning, since his performance was fairly good, he became a formal employee. He then participated in the production of several albums for Britney and Christina, and he started to write songs. The first one he wrote was "Wherever You Will Go". To be precise, it was the prototype of "Wherever You Will Go". Norton thought it was pretty good after listening to it. As Adrian was looking for new songs for Avril, he recommended it.
